Thanks for the suggestion, Luke!
Your approach would load prog.R whenever invoking R, but that is not
exactly what I want. Basically I can run prog.R through
source("~/someDir/prog.R") inside R. Also since prog.R involves many
lines of readline() and tclvalue() in tcltk package, the program
requires the user responses in the middle of the execution. If
possible, I would like to create an executable shell script RunProg
with one line or two inside like
R ... ~/someDir/prog.R
If this is feasible, whenever I want to run prog.R, I can simply type
the following at the terminal prompt:
RunProg
and I would still be able to interact with the user. Is this something doable?
Thanks,
Gang
